Is CampUp Karma better than a rooftop tent?

They are two different pieces of equipment. With Karma, you can do everything rooftop tents do and much more! Rooftop tents are designed for overlanding; they are comfortable for sleeping but are quite heavy and less functional for everyday life and car camping.

In contrast, CampUp Karma is designed for car camping, as a lightweight and minimalist solution for outdoor sleeping, but not only that! It allows for easy transportation of bicycles, kayaks, skis, fishing rods, and everything needed for outdoor adventures. With Karma, you can do everything rooftop tents do and much more!

Assembly and Maintenance

Can I install CampUp Karma on my car by myself?

Absolutely! You can easily install CampUp Karma by following the short assembly video.

During purchase, you can choose to have CampUp Karma shipped directly to your home (with additional shipping costs) or opt to pick it up in Reggio Emilia. There's no extra charge if we install it for you; we're happy to meet our customers!

Does CampUp Karma require maintenance? What about the wooden slats?

There is no scheduled maintenance required. However, it's recommended to check the tightening of the brackets after heavy off-road use and avoid using aggressive detergents or pressure washers during cleaning.

The slats are made of Okoume marine plywood with a UV-resistant waterproof treatment. It's advised to refresh the wood with a waterproofing oil (such as this) every 6 months.

Thanks to the high-quality materials and treatments to increase resistance to weather conditions, you can leave CampUp Karma on the roof of your car all year round!

Are all roof bars compatible?

CampUp Karma is compatible with 99% of roof racks. The brackets included in the kit you receive can be mounted on bars up to 8.4cm wide.

The minimum distance between the roof racks is 50cm, and the maximum distance is 85cm.

Contact us at info@campup.it, and we'll find the perfect roof bars for your car!

While you're getting the hang of it, we've created a video where you can see all the steps: OPENING AND CLOSING: quick and easy! 

Usage

How much weight can I load onto CampUp if I use it as a roof rack?

The dynamic load of CampUp Karma depends on the type of roof racks chosen.

For example, if you use roof racks rated for 75kg, you can load an additional 45kg.

How is the calculation performed?

75kg (load capacity of bars) - 30kg (weight of CampUp Karma) = 45kg additional usable load above Karma

Can I mount any type of tent on CampUp?

Certainly, as long as the base dimensions of the tent do not exceed those of the CampUp platform (250x160cm).

 

How many people can fit on CampUp Karma?

When open, in terrace position or with a tent mounted, CampUp Karma is tested to hold up to 280kg.

Is the tent included with CampUp?

No, unless you purchase the "Karma + tent" bundle.

CampUp Karma is not a rooftop tent but a multifunctional travel rack for car camping. Therefore, everyone is free to use the tent they already own or purchase the one most suitable for the experiences they dream of having with CampUp.

Can I fit into the garage with CampUp Karma?

It depends on the height of the car and how low the garage clearance is, but CampUp is the lowest and most aerodynamic structure in its category. Compared to roof racks, it adds only 20cm in height. However, you can further reduce this height with the Quick Release Kit !
